IS it too soon for ....

no oen wants to drool over my Irish Brogue then cries

Begorra! and bejaysus!

You forgot

Oh my lucky charms
Top O the morning to ya

:slight_smile:

My bad. I was unaware we had an Irish contingent coming. I’m sure there will be plenty of guys/girls (sorry, I’m unaware of your gender) willing to drool over your Brogue.

I will have nice shoes with me, and can provide a cloth of you drool on them too much*

I’m a guy, as specified in the intor thread about 2 days ago, evil bosses of doom have yet to give final approval so I currently sit here and hope the flight prices go up slower than my remaining loan balance on the car goes down.

I swear to all the Lords of Kobol that I’ll be there this year. In 2009 a bout of unemployment got in my way. In 2010 the meetup was during my new job’s annual conference. In 2011, I’ll be there, bitches.

In fact, I have already told my boss that I’ll be taking a few days off in March to go to Texas to visit my friends from the internet.

Well I will be tired, but hell yes! I’m going :slight_smile: If I’m out of it, blame NYC, London, Milan, and Paris. I’m just bringomg a camera.

Oh you poor thing. :stuck_out_tongue:

You try doing a month of fashion shows getting an average of 6 hours of sleep a week. Oh yeah, bringing not just my amera, but a nice model, who happens to be a geek! This model to be exact;

Sounds tough, but I’m willing to give it a go…

You can take my place in London. Just remember you have to balance yourself on a small box, while holding a camera, squeezed up with 2500 other photographers, for 30-45 minutes a show. Most haven’t showered that day, so it gets sorta ripe smelling, just to take a shot like this;

Then, run and grab a cab to the other side of London to get to your next show, which is in 25 minutes. Repeat 6-7 times a day, for 7 days, editing all shots and uploading them before press time the next morning, and on the 7th day get on a flight to the next city and start over the next day, except in Milan, where you finish the last show, hop on a flight or train and make it to Paris in 6 hours for the first show there. I love it! You will to :smiley:

Oh jeebus. I do all that just to get an autograph at a con.

Actually, I don’t do that. Thank gods for The GF.

Cool! I hate shooting London Fashion Week. You can take my place! Just remember Eat Curry, regular British food is horrible.

Do you need an assistant? I have no experience other than being a regular reader of most of the women’s glossies. And I like Italian food.

If you don’t mind lugging 40lbs of gear for 12 hours a day for 27 straight days on about 60 hours total sleep you are hired!

yay!!!

Since Twain originated that quote, I think every state has adopted it as its own.

HOLY CRAP!!! Yes!! We would love to see you! And if you’re planning to visit a few sites in the U.S., a number of GWCers can offer great advice on what to see. Please do come!

Hell yes.

I will!
